Before mentioning the Halo 3 screenshots specifically, let’s have a look at the figures that create all of this media. Over 9 million copies of Halo 3 have been sold so far. That means that if every person who purchased the game plays for only 10 hours, there are more than 90 million hours of game time from which to choose screen shots. A lot can take place in 90 million hours, and with all the image-uploading websites available to people, loads of it has been uploaded.
One of the things in Halo 3 that has frequently been documented in Halo 3 screenshots is the identity of Master Chief or more specifically, what his face is like. If you use Google to look up the top 10 Halo 3 screenshots, you’ll find a picture of Master Chief lying dead on the ground, clearly not showing a face inside his helmet. This explains why we never see his face, say many players, because he does not really have one.
Another one of the top Halo 3 screenshots showing in the 10 most popular Halo 3 screenshots is the one of a Marine getting hammered on a floodgate. Someone commented that it looked a lot like Han Solo when he was frozen in Carbonite. And do you know what? – they’re totally right.
The makers of Halo 3 wanted to make it much simpler for players to grab Halo 3 screenshots and to share them all over the Internet. In order to accomplish this, they created a ‘Saved Films’ feature in the video game. This feature allows players to slow down the action, or even to freeze it, change the camera position and even move the camera around to get exactly the screenshot they want to have. Generally speaking, the ‘Save Films’ feature records all the action that occurs in the game, so it can later be converted into videos are screenshots.
Yet another feature that has a little bit to do with Halo 3 screenshots in the ‘Save Films’ feature, is the watching of previously saved films. You see, the saves are not just pictures or video, they are actual game data. This means two things: A] the file size is pretty small and B] the whole game can be watched from various angles on the Xbox 360.
This means to say that a player could replay a game again and again, finding new things in new places every time they look at it. That’s a great deal better than plain Halo 3 screenshots.
